The lights stayed on following a Greenville County Little League football game in memory of 15-year-old Trayvon Dodd.

The crowd took a moment of silence, and Trayvon's family was presented with a football.

Police say Trayvon was shot to death while visiting a friend the night of Sept. 11.

That friend, a 12-year-old boy, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter.

Before the ceremony, Trayvon’s grandmother spoke to News 4.

“It's been heartbreaking, devastating. We couldn't believe someone would want to do that to him because of the child he was. He was so humble and nice and sweet. I don't understand why a 12-year-old would have a gun. I helped raised my grandson and we didn't raise him around guns. We wouldn't even let him play with toy guns,” said Trayvon’s grandmother, Colene Garcia.

The Put Down the Guns Young People organization presented Trayvon's family with the football Thursday. Their message to parents: Keep guns out of the hands of your kids.

“That child should not have had any way of getting to that gun. If they would have had that gun locked, Trayvon Dodd would still be living today,” said Put Down the Guns Young People President Jack Logan.

Detectives said it appeared Trayvon was peering through a glass door into his friend’s house when the fatal shot was fired Sept. 11.

They said it was the 12-year-old suspect who called 911.

Trayvon's family said they still have a lot of questions, but one thing they say is clear: Someone has to take responsibility for Trayvon's death.

“I want justice for my grandson,” said Garcia.

The 12-year-old suspect has been released into the custody of his parents. It’s unclear whether this case will go to trial.
